International Campaign for the Ratification of C. 183 and R. 191 on Maternity Protection

The ITUC regards maternity protection as a right that it is up to us to promote. That is why has been leading a campaign, since 8 March 2007, International Women’s Day, on the ratification and the implementation of the ILO’s Convention 183 and Recommendation 191 on maternity protection. And since maternity protection makes a central contribution to a decent life and decent work, it is an internal part of the Decent Work, Decent Life for Women Global Campaign.
